Spring Cleanup - Vacuum Cleaners
This is the first spring cleanup i was able to attend in my vehicle! I saw people just cutting the cords off the vacuum cleaners and leaving the actual units behind. Thanks to my smarts, i know there is a copper motor inside every vacuum cleaner. I picked up about 15 vacuums (7 i can resell, so im scrapping 8). If your not doing well picking up large scrap on the curb side, look for some vacuum cleaners. The unwound copper adds up!

Summer is comming so keep an eye out for fans.Fan motors have good copper as well, some you might be able to clean up and resell.

I never have a problem picking up vacuums, most other scrappers cut the cord and leave the rest which just baffles me because they leave the motor behind. Thats fine by me! I can either take the motor out and scrap some of the rest of the unit or scrap them whole if I feel like it. I usually scrap the carpet steamer cleaners whole, less plastic *I* have to get rid of and those are pretty heavy so I figure it evens out for me.
